Why cost per card matters

When you open a box, its price becomes the cost of what came out. If you later sell one of those cards, the cost you count against the sale is its share of the box, not zero. Cost per card is the even split; it is the simplest fair starting point.

Splitting by value instead

An even split gives a common card and the chase card the same cost. Many collectors who sell split the box by what each card is worth instead, so the hit you sell carries most of the cost and the bulk carries little. Either way, the costs of everything you kept add back up to what you paid for the box.

Keep the receipt

What you paid, the date and where you bought it are the record behind every number here. See taxes for card sellers for why that record matters when you sell.
